The Blood of Jesus

The Blood covers sin:
No matter what the sin is, the blood of Jesus has the power to cleanse us and make us pure and holy. Hebrews 10:4 says “it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to forgive sin.” Then Chapter 9:14 says “for by the power of the eternal spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. This is why he (JESUS) is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people.” What this means is, no matter what sin i have committed; the blood of Jesus has the power to forgive me in the twinkling of an eye. Remember the thief that was crucified beside Jesus? A man that had lived a life of crime, and just like that, he was forgiven. Why? Because he believed in Jesus. It is as simple as that. Furthermore, the twenty-four elders of God in Revelation 5:9 had this to say about Jesus. “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it, for you were slaughtered and YOUR BLOOD has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.”No matter the sin or iniquity in our blood line, the Blood of Jesus has the power to make us new creations, new born children of God. New born children, not born of the flesh this time (earthly parents), but Born of the Spirit of God (Water Baptism). As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if ANY MAN, be in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away and all things have become New.”

The Blood has a voice:
Recall that when Cain killed Abel, and God inquired of him, where his brother was, Cain was bold enough to lie to God that he didn’t know. In response, God said to him, “the voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground”. From this we can deduce that blood has a voice and an innocent blood has a louder voice. While Cain’s blood was shouting VENGEANCE! VENGEANCE!! VENGEANCE!!! The blood of Jesus shouts “MERCY MY FATHER, I DIED FOR HIM/HER, HE BELIEVES IN MY BLOOD, MY BLOOD THAT WAS SHED, YOUR SPOTLESS LAMB, LETS FORGIVE HIM AND CLEANSE HIM/HER, YOU LOVE HIM/HER, YOU DON’T WISH FOR ANY SOUL TO PERISH MY FATHER, BECAUSE YOU ARE LOVE, HAVE MERCY ON HIM/HER MY FATHER, LETS CLEANSE HIM/HER, LETS SANCTIFY HIM/HER AND ADOPT HIM/HER INTO OUR FAMILY.” Also remember that despite the fact that Jesus was beaten, mocked, and spat on for no just cause, he still prayed for the people that crucified him. The blood of Jesus is the perfect voice that can speak for us in the courts of Heaven. Remember we have an adversary, an accuser, the Devil, who accuses us in the courts of Heaven. Every man needs to accept the finished works of Christ so the blood of Jesus can speak for him and cleanse him of all sin, iniquity and unrighteousness. What is also very important to note is THE DEVIL FEARS ONLY THE BLOOD OF JESUS. That is any Christian’s weapon of warfare against the Devil and his demons.

The Blood gives us eternal life:
The Bible says in John 3:16 that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Once any man accepts salvation by the blood of Jesus, he has passed from death to life. We seriously need to understand that what we call death is not what God calls death. God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but in our eyes, these fathers of our faith are long “dead’. Does this mean, God is a God of the dead? Of course not(Mathew 22:32-34). What God calls death is a spiritual death for those that will burn in Hell. (Revelation 21:8) Hence the first thing THE BLOOD OF JESUS does for us is, it gives us eternal life, and adopts us into the family of God, causing us to dwell in God’s kingdom. You cannot begin to understand how beautiful the Kingdom of God will be. I can tell you with all confidence that it will be the definition of the word Beautiful. Jesus said ‘I go to prepare a place for you’. Jesus said in my father’s house there are many mansions. Revelation 21 says the streets of the city, are made of pure gold and like transparent glass. Who wouldn’t want to live forever in a place like that with a Holy God?

The Blood was literally shed/poured out:
For just a moment, if you are reading this write up, kindly open the Bible and read Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 to really have a glimpse of what Jesus went through on the cross of Calvary. He was bruised, wounded, pierced from his head, hands and feet, he was whipped and brutally wounded. I am very sure if we looked at the cross of Jesus as he hung there, all we would see is blood, just like a sacrifice. At the end of the day a soldier pierced his side and blood and water came out of him. Blood is for redemption , to deal with sin(Heb 9:22) for purchasing the church (Acts 20:28). Water is for imparting life to deal with death for the producing of the church (Eph 5:29-30)

The Blood gives us boldness to come to God:
Once we accept the finished work of Christ’s blood, we are immediately adopted into the family of God. The word “adoption” means the placement of a child to one whom he/she does not biologically belong to. By law the adopted person has the same privileges, benefits, position, responsibilities and obligations as a biological born son. The use of this word is found in Romans 8:15, 23,9:4, Galatians 4:5, Ephesians 1:5. Believers in Jesus Christ are adopted sons Galatians 4:5, Ephesians 1:5, not slaves of fear Galatians 4:7. Romans 8:15 says: “So, you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead you received God’s Spirit, when he Adopted you as his own children, NOW WE CALL HIM, ABBA FATHER!” Once we understand and know this, then we start to relate with God as father and no longer as a fearful deity. We understand his love for us, by sacrificing his only son. At this point you will notice you stop practicing religion and you begin a relationship with your father in Heaven through the Blood of Jesus.

The Blood is Insurance for our Soul:
These days we hear a lot of things in the news and social media that makes us scared and we tend to look for solutions to these things to give us some level of comfort. We have different schemes of insurance. We can insure our houses, our cars, our businesses, and even our life. We hear health tips every day, imploring us to eat fruits, drink lots of water, exercise, and generally live healthy. While these things can be efficient to keep the body for a time, the best bet is to INSURE OUR SOUL. What do I mean by this? In the midst of the chaos in the world, the insecurity and so on, everyone ought to be sure that at death, their soul is going to Jesus. The biggest risk on earth any man can take is to live his life every day without the assurance of being with Jesus if he drops dead. That is what I call SOUL INSURANCE. How long do we get to live on this earth? 100 years? 80 years? 60 years? 120 years? The Bible says in the eyes of God, a thousand years is like a day and a day is like a thousand years. We should live our life here on earth with the knowledge that this world is temporary and nothing lasts forever. No matter how much I have, it won’t last forever. No matter how beautiful my family is, it’s just for a short while. Hence everything on earth is vanity upon vanity, so we MUST INSURE OUR SOUL and be wise. All you need to do is believe that God sent his son to die for you, and accept the son, Jesus Christ, into your heart. You can accept him into your heart by saying and meaning these words “Lord Jesus, come into my heart and be real to me, let your blood wash me. Accept me and write my name in your Book of Life.”

The Blood of Jesus puts your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life:
One of the beautiful things I love about God is that his ways are exactly the same. We can evidently see and understand the concept of a book with God. Scriptures talks about God’s book, it also talks about God blotting out a name from his book, and later in the new testament, it talks about ‘THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE’
Exodus 32:31-33 reads So Moses returned to the Lord and said, ‘Alas, this people has sinned a great sin. They have made for themselves gods of gold, but now, if you will forgive their sin – but if not, please blot me out of your book that you have written.’ But the Lord said to Moses, ‘Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of my book”.Then Revelation 20:12 reads “And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done”. On most occasions where the Lamb’s book of life is mentioned, it refers to the register of those who have been chosen for salvation from eternity past. It is not temporal or earthly blessings that are in view, but participation in the eternal kingdom of God as recipients of eternal life. For example: Hebrews 12:22-23“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in Heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect”. Revelations 21:27“But nothing unclean will ever enter it [the New Jerusalem on the New Earth], nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life”

I implore anyone and everyone to read this material closely with an open mind as a child, and check out the Bible reference. The secret about this thing is, we can only be shown the door, but we are the ones that have to walk through it. Accept Jesus, believe in his blood, live for him, literally make him your LORD and he will make your life beautiful. The beautiful thing about God is he doesn’t ask for perfection, but he asks for progress in our walk with him. He wants us to Love his son Jesus Christ, he wants us to live for him and have a relationship with him while we are here on earth because he- Jesus, God has said he will prosper his plans through him. Brethren, it is a win-win situation. Nevertheless, if by any chance anybody should reject Jesus, if you are wrong about Jesus, YOU HAVE A VERY LONG TIME TO BE WRONG, PLEASE DO NOT DIE IN YOUR SINS, BECAUSE THE GRACE OF GOD ONLY COVERS THE LIVING, SO IF YOU DIE IN YOUR SINS, YOU WILL NEED BLOOD TO OVERCOME ALL THE ACCUSATIONS SATAN WILL BRING AGAINST YOU IN JUDGMENT…ACCEPT JESUS NOW, HE IS THE SPOTLESS LAMB OF GOD THAT TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD!!!
